Huh? MTV said that? Oh, wait, MTV *Europe* said that. I see...I forgot,
the overseas MTVs are the ones that don't lask taste... :)

I'm gonna look out for this one. I can't #$%^* wait to get my hands on it.

I bought this one without even listening to it, simply because I
throroughly dug the last "...Cookin" comp ("Still Cookin"). I must say,
I'm slightly disappointed; IMHO 1/3rd of the album is real weak (Sorry, I
just did not like their attempt at sticking Ambientish Trip-Hop in this
comp. Don't get me wrong, I dig those kinds of music, but you'll probably
know what I'm talking about if you hear it...). The other 1/3rd
is cool and the remaining 1/3rd is phattyphattyphatphat! I dug "Still Cookin"
mainly because it was very soul-oriented and had names like Jacko Peake,
Slide Five and some dude named Prothero all over the album :) <Hi Dan>

The new one has the name "Paul Scriver" mentioned about 38 times in the
credits. (To his credit, the last track qualified in the "Phat..." 1/3rd
of the album)

Oh yeah, thanks for the free Ubiquity sticker in the CD! I stuck it on my
keyboard stand!
